Hope you enjoyed all the photos as it definitely was a “labor of love” to put them all together. The convention was fabulous, regardless of how the Democrats are spinning their convention which was plagued by angry protests. (Did you happen to see the flag burning by the anarchists?) Ours was very peaceful and inspiring ! Hope to see many of you at the inauguration !!! Go Trump ! Nancy

EXCERPT FROM THIS ARTICLE: Pelosi and her husband had a rare and exclusive (elite, one might say) opportunity to participate in a VISA IPO.

Pelosi was deeply involved with legislation affecting the credit card industry at the time

The original legislation included regulations allowing companies to negotiate the onerous transaction fees that make up a significant profit center for credit card companies

The banner headline, full of wishful thinking, ran just hours after the “60 Minutes” story. First thing on a Monday morning at the beginning of a news cycle is a curious time to declare that a story “fell flat.” (more…)
